[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"
The first 40 minutes or so of this episode were pretty good. I liked what they did with Zades and Hades himself is just outstanding (though I’m bummed with the reversal, we knew it was coming). But the final 20-25 mins were just hard to watch. Given what happened, no one can honestly expect me to be in love with this episode. I’m never going to approve of *that* ‘ship and I’ll forever think it’s a giant mistake for the writers to try and push it the way they are because it’s not…good. In my eyes, at least. Emma only having a heart full of TL with Hook doesn’t make a lick of sense and it’s disheartening given how Emma was conceived.
LIKED
–LOVED that they recreated the pilot but with Emma and Cleo
–“Ex pirate with a rum habit”
–Hades ripping up the contract for Zelena without hesistation
–Zades!!! True Love!! Yay! (what is happening to me…?) “When will you believe, I’ll do anything for you?”
–Orpheus and Eurydice shout out!! Yay #Goodmythology
–Heart judgement = Egyptian mythology with Anubis and Ma’at (weigh heart against a feather) so semi-good mythology still gets my nod of approval
–LOL at Cruella and the Blind Witch
–Rumple getting the better of Pan with “villains never get happy endings”
–Bye Bye Robbie Kay; he’s been excellent. He will be missed as well.
MIXED
–So Hades’ heart was frozen AND he was banished to the Underworld for all of time? Mmkay. #BadMythology (but at this point I’m just relieved when they get ANY myth right)
–So now Henry can control his power enough to write everyone their unfinished business? That’s just nonsense. But at least they followed through with Operation Firebird even if it’s a literal handwave and isn’t what the Author’s power is.
–Hook staying down below. Yeah, he should and I’m glad he recognizes. He’s dead and at some point dead is dead has to mean something (y’know, besides for Neal and Graham) but it doesn’t matter. He’ll come back and have his happy ending, never having to actually atone fully for his crimes (like all the murder!) The writers want their cake and to eat it too.
–Henry gets bored halfway through writing people’s unfinished business and decides “people will find them”?
DISLIKED
–How does Emma even know about the contract between Rumple and Hades?
–The heart split won’t work because Hook’s been down there too long? And his soul has left his body? So does the soul know when to leave? When is too long? When is just right? Why does the world building on this show make no flipping sense?
–TLK doesn’t work on Rumbelle because Belle doesn’t accept Rumple as he is?! Malarkey
–Cleo’s coat inspires Emma’s coat, not Neal’s coat from “Tallahassee” There goes that headcanon.
–The royal navy taught Hook Ancient Greek, a language native to this world??? LOL, no.
–Emma’s heart is the heart of True Love Incarnate. She should pass the test, pirate or not. The fact that the writers made it all about HIM is so….anger inducing. Emma was always True Love Incarnate and even if not, Henry is her Canon True Love. This isn’t new information. But now she can only have a heart full of True Love if it’s about Hook. Bull. Just bull. Stop making Emma’s only relevancy about her boyfriend.
–Hook and Emma being true love in any way, shape, or form. Nope.
–I’m bummed Hades turned on everyone. I think his love for Zelena is pure and real but it’s clouded by his need to outsmart them. I really wanted him to be around for longer but that seems unlikely.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"*braces for impact*
See you all on the other side
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Didn’t Hook give Henry to Zelena that time when they killed that flying monkey in the barn and Elena tried to choke henry? I recall he tried to put him on that boat, but wasn’t that because Zelena had told him to bring Henry to her to get at Emma or something? Quo
No. He gave him to Smee to take him to NYC

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Oh I wouldn’t be surprised. But if they did bring him back to life, they’d always (always) have to dance around the questions about seeing Neal again, why Neal couldn’t move to SB, why Henry didn’t see Neal more often, why Rumple didn’t see Neal more often, and they’d have to deal with pesky lingering triangle plot. For those reasons–and maybe not so much the ones I listed above–I doubt they’d do it. Possible? Yes, because anything on a show with shody worldbuilding and rules of magic, is possible. Probable? Not so much.
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"….what if Neal comes back to life. But then, like, leaves SB. And we never see him because he s off in NYC living his life. Rump could say his final good byes. Henry will alwaysvhave the option of “going to see Neal” if ever the actor can’t film for some reason. I think it could work.
Because
1) I can’t imagine a reality where Neal doesn’t want to be an active participant in his child’s life. He wouldn’t pack up and move many states away where he could only see Henry on some weekend and every other holiday
2) I can’t imagine A and E pulling a character “out of heaven” and make them live in this world and claim it was any kind of happy ending. I mean…S6 of Buffy, anyone?
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Is that a heart Hades is putting in the bag?
I think so. The question is now, whose heart is it? Part of me thinks it could be Emma’s, but her heart couldn’t be removed before. Is it Hades’ heart own then–the one he said was frozen?
I think it’s Emma’s
